As for the EASIEST answer: Yes, your Administrator account will say: 'Local Account Administrator.'
I again HOPE you have backed up any important files from your computer to somewhere else... flash drive, external hard drive, etc. One false click and all could be lost! - (especially when using an administrator account.)
I believe what we have here now is the 'blindfolded' leading the 'blindfolded!' I have been searching exhaustively for the Pending Download issue. In my web searches, there are numerous so-called fixes, but many are above MY technical skill level and I'd
dare not share and have you try them. There were a few I would try for myself if I had to. I'd hate to have you try something
and totally "hose" your machine.
One thing I'd like you to check: This was a problem for some (especially version 1909.) In Windows Update,
go to ADVANCED and make sure the toggle is ON for "download updates over metered connections." If by chance
yours is OFF.... turn it ON... wait at least 1/2 hour and try updating again. It may begin to update itself unless
you have updates paused. I've read sometimes that toggle gets turned OFF by itself for some reason, or no good reason!
Good Ole Windows!
If you ran your AV and Malwarebytes and found nothing, then it doesn't seem malware or a virus is your problem.
I've also read that you could have some corrupted and/or missing files (or improper settings) preventing the downloads.
I could be wrong on that too. Just posting what I have found on line. If when you try to do updates, pause your
Bitdefender for as long a possible to see if that is preventing your downloads. Just a thought.
In looking at your update file it seems that Ox80071a2d is the most prevalent recurring error. I also searched
that for a long time. Again, different fixes depending where you look. I did notice that ONE of your updates failed
on one date and successfully updated two days later. I copied the chart you posted and put in notes (mostly for me
to look at things) but I'll post it. Perhaps a tech guru can make heads or tails of it.
Have you TRIED going to the Microsoft Update Catalog-- https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/home.aspx
In the search box type in a failed KB update number. Search for that and try to install it manually to
see what happens. Just make SURE you DL the correct file for your system. Update for Windows 10,
version 1909 for a x64 based systems. I just did a search for one of yours KB4589211 and
I BELIEVE it would be the second one from the top. Again, this does not fix the problems with automatic updates.
I'll mention once more that you COULD TRY TO UPDATE to 20H2 using the update assistant, which is what I did.
It walks you through the steps and checks your machine first to see if that is a viable option for you. There are
STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE using it which I would explain if you decide to try that. It did take me many, many hours
to get the full update.
I'm sure there are very knowledgeable computer users here shaking their heads at my feeble attempts to help you --
unsuccessfully so far. Perhaps ONE of them (please?) could lend a hand and suggest something I have not
thought of or know about. BELIEVE ME, I am TRYING!!!
I do have several important things coming up in the next few days, so forgive me if I don't check back in very quickly.
I'll try my best to check in and see how things are going with your attempts. Hang in there!
